Standing strong for mokopuna BY GERALD FORD Two health and social agencies in Wairarapa last week gathered speakers from around New Zealand and beyond to talk about their aims for the new service that will replace Child Youth and Family. Te Hauora Runanga o Wairarapa and Whaiora, two Maori health providers in the region, jointly hosted a symposium – Mokopuna Centred Solutions, to discuss the needs and the best ways to meet them. Mokopuna – or grandchildren – were at the centre of the discussions, held on Thursday and Friday at the Copthorne Hotel and Resort Solway Park, Masterton. Speakers included Marama Fox, co-leader of the Maori Party, former Labour MP John Tamihere, From Child Youth and Family were Murray Edridge, the deputy chief executive of community investment, Paul Nixon, chief social worker, and Dr Leland Ruwhiu, principal advisor for Maori on Child, Youth and Family. As the conference wound down on Friday Ra Smith, chairman of Te Hauora, encouraged the social workers present to ask “what’s our potential for greatness?”

Encouraging wellness, not deficiency Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford Last week I had the privilege of attending a conference aimed at improving social outcomes for children in Wairarapa. The hosts were two well used and respected health and social agencies in Wairarapa, Te Hauora Runanga o Wairarapa, and Whaiora and the conference or symposium, as described in today’s story, was entitled Mokopuna Centred Solutions. It was clear to me that I was surrounded by passionate, hardworking people who wanted to do the best for people. These were elders and leaders and on-the-ground workers, taking responsibility for helping others to take responsibility for themselves. Included in the mix was an international visitor, Mariano Pedroza, who has been sharing his skills in trauma healing with the New Zealanders. Trauma is something that injures people at a personal level and also a social level, and the solutions likewise must be personal and social. One of the messages that came through to me was that people receiving help from these agencies don’t need more assessment as much as they need to feel supported. The new national agency that will replace Child, Youth and Family will be called Oranga

RACHEL

Tamariki, which means the health or wellbeing of children, but the English version is the Ministry for Vulnerable Children – much to the criticism of many who see this as stigmatising and encouraging “deficit thinking”. Speakers at the symposium talked of the need to move past “deficit language” and look forward. By coincidence the lead story in yesterday’s Wairarapa TimesAge featured a school – South Featherston School – which has lost out on funding because it doesn’t have enough deficits. The new Targeted At-Risk funding model lists factors which mark a child at risk of underachieving. These risk factors include a parent who has been to prison, if they or their sibling has suffered child abuse, if the family has been on a benefit for a long time, or if the mother has no formal qualifications. So for a school to benefit financially, it has to profile its families and record their weaknesses. Absence of these factors means a drop in funds. Agencies such as Te Hauora and Whaiora encourage personal and whanau health, and their names reflect that – ora is health. At a national level, children do need to be protected, but as speaker John Tamihere pointed out, all children are the most vulnerable members of their family. Labelling some as more so than others does not seem to be the wisest way of encouraging families to open up and let the social agencies in.

Global help for trauma healing BY GERALD FORD

International guest speaker and TRE trauma healing practitioner Mariano Pedroza, second from left, with cultural adviser Kahu Takarangi, left, Te Hauora Runanga o Wairarapa manager Louise Ihimaera, and Wairarapa TRE healing practitioner Leilani Smiler. PHOTO/GERALD FORD

A keynote international speaker at the Wairarapa symposium says emotional and physical healing must be sensitive to a person’s culture. Mariano Pedroza is a practitioner of TRE, or Trauma Release Exercises, in Brazil. Mr Pedroza said he had been invited to “share an experience that has been very successful in Brazil, a very innovative method for releasing tension and trauma”. That method is Trauma Release Exercises or TRE. “They invited me to share in with this group of highly skilled and highly experienced people.” Leilani Smiler who connected with Mr Pedroza over the internet, is also using TRE in Wairarapa as a therapist under contract to Te Hauora. “A lot of his work was with indigenous people in Brazil; in Mariano coming to New Zealand, it’s about supporting what we know (in Maori healing models),” Ms Smiler said. Mr Pedroza said it is “essential” to have models of healing that fit with a culture. “Culture is a code of values, a code of communication that enables social bonding, enables people to connect easily,” he said. “If any method, no matter

how scientific it may be, if it doesn’t respect the cultural values and cultural codes, it will try to impose something over the people and disrespect who they are.” “Any healing method should contribute and add to the healing (methods) that are already in that community and not try to overcome them, but to collaborate with them.” Mr Pedroza said the learning between cultures goes both ways. “I’m here to share my experience but also to learn from the Maori way of doing things.” Cultural adviser Kahu Takarangi said since the 1850s, Maori had “ended up with a lot of things being taken away”, and recent decades had been about claiming them back, beginning with “small community” movements such as kohanga reo. “Not only land but stuff to do with the emotional, the spiritual, all that sort of stuff.” In that process, Maori had learned from and worked with other indigenous peoples, such as the Gaelic people of Ireland who had experience in bringing back their own language. “What indigenous people throughout the world have been doing is supporting each other … now we’re including Brazil,” Mr Takarangi said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Our potential for greatness was sown by our tupuna, but they didn’t expect us to stay where we are. They expected us to take on the world.” Mr Smith said there were some keynote speaker at the conference but he wanted to address the “keynote listeners”. “You’ll be the ones who will listen and act.” Social worker Moira Metekingi, from in Porirua, said when working with clients, “I have to find something in them to sustain them when I’m gone”. A mother of nine, she jokes that “my career is mother; my hobby is a social worker.” Her children, she says, “as they’ve fallen down, they’ve learned the art of getting up”. “That is what we are helping our whanau to do”. Rangitane kaumatua Maria Hampstead-Rimene said the symposium attendants “don’t

have to learn how to do what we do … we do it already.” She said she learned two policies when working for her father in law: “If it’s got to be done, do it, and if you stuff up, fix it”. “These two policies still work for Rangitane today… When CYF ask me what are your policies, I give them those two – but I

heart” and said if the pain is not faced there “eventually it will all leach out in your life”. Dr Leland finished with “do the right thing when no-one’s watching – which is about integrity.” Jason Kerehi said there had been talk in the conference about “going to the border” between worlds and said a lot of the work of those present was about being

also give them the encyclopedia version.” Leland Ruwhiu, principal advisor, Maori, for Child Youth and Family, said leaders who don’t listen “eventually find themselves surrounded by people who have nothing to say”. He challenged the social workers that “a lot of the work that needs to be done is in the

in the doorway and “push the door, make it wider”. “Until the day when you go through the door and it looks like this,” he said, indicating the people in the room around him. Kaumatua Ben Fox of Te Hauora said the aim of the conference was “raising our tamariki to stand strong, to stand confident, and to perform to their fullest potential.”

Patients housed

later followed by chemotherapy. “I don’t know what I would have done without MSH. Masterton is quite far away,” Gaye said. “I would have had to have someone drive me in once a day. Or catch the train in and back again… which is not ideal, especially when you have just received treatment and your feeling exhausted. It would have been too much for me.” Gaye’s room, which she describes as “my little motel” has beds for her children to stay. “For them to come down and spend a day with me… well it’s helped them to be able to understand what’s going on,”

A charity that houses cancer patients including from Wairarapa is appealing for help with a power-saving project. Margaret Stewart House provides onsite accommodation at Wellington Hospital, dedicated to cancer patients from beyond the city. The house has launched an online fundraiser for solar panels that will save them an estimated $300,000 over the next 25 years. Masterton’s Gaye Davis is one of the current residents at Margaret Stewart House. She is currently undergoing four weeks of radiotherapy to be

Gaye said. Gaye also raised the “amazing” staff and volunteers at the house and the benefit of meeting people “in the same boat” as herself. “I met a woman here who has the same thing I have. It was so good talking to her. The best thing here is all the people.” * Personal or business donations to support Margaret Stewart House solar panels and through them to help people like Gaye can be made at: https://give.everydayhero.com/ nz/powerup-the-cancer-societymargaret-stewart-house.

Top cyclists gather in Wairarapa The opening round of the five race Trust House North Island Team Series, to be held in Wairarapa, has attracted a who’s who of top road cyclists from around New Zealand. The first race of the series being held on Sunday, September 18, features a 12km team time trial (TTT) as well as a 120 km road race and has attracted 22 teams and 180 riders from around the country. Race director Jorge Sandoval says included are well-known names such as ex Olympian Gary Anderson, who will be racing in the master’s grade; top pro rider

Michael Torckler and Wellington road champion David Rowlands. “Thanks to the generous support from Trust House, the North Island Team Series has returned to the Wairarapa, one of the best road cycling destinations in New Zealand,” Mr Sandoval said. “Being a team series, it makes sense to have a TTT to give riders the opportunity to compete against other teams to see who fares best over the flat, 12km course, which given its spring, has the potential to be windy.” Mr Sandoval says the TTT

will make for exciting viewing for spectators and challenging riding for competitors. “In the same tradition as teams’ time trials in the Tour de France, teams in the Trust House Series will start with eight riders each at one minute intervals completing a 12km circuit in the Gladstone area,” Mr Sandoval said. “Then, after the TTT, elite riders will complete four laps of a 30km circuit and master riders will do three laps in Gladstone. The circuit features a small hill each lap that should test all riders.”

Isolation at home

The race for the men’s elite and men’s under-23 titles are wide open, but Jorge says riders to watch are top pro Michael Torckler racing for the Blindz Direct cycling team; Wellington road champion David Rowlands; Andy Hagan and Matt Markby. Of interest to local supporters will be the debut of Masterton’s young and upcoming rider Tom McCallum in the elite field. “Even though it will be a hard task for the young Tom to compete against more expert and seasoned riders, he’s in good form and should be up there at the finish,” Mr Sandoval said.

In the Midweek story Social carers gather, September 7, diversional therapist Faye Leverage was quoted as saying rest home residents are often surprised by the isolation of living in a home. This was a misquote and in fact, Mrs Leverage was referring the surprising isolation older people can experience in their own home. That isolation can be broken with day programmes run out of rest homes, by diversional therapists such as those featured in the story. Midweek apologises for the error.

An advertisement for Uber popped up on my email address over the weekend. It was accompanied by a message which read “This ad was shown to you based on emails from your inbox and information from your google account” Now, I am not one of those people who gets all worked up about being spied on. If they are that desperate that they need to read my emails, then go for it I say. But I know that there is nothing in my emails or google account that would suggest I need to know about Uber. In fact, the last thing I would want to read about is Uber. For those of you who don’t know what Uber is, it is a passenger transport system similar to a cab, but it is booked and paid through an App on your phone. Uber is German for over or above so I assume they think their service is over and above what people would expect. You want a ride somewhere, you go to your app and a message is sent to the nearest available Uber driver. They operate worldwide, though they are banned in many cities and in fact in some countries.

When I became a cab driver, it took me 11 weeks and around $800 to become “legal”. I had to have a police check, re-sit my licence and apply for a P (passenger) endorsement for my drivers’ licence. My boss has gone one step further and put all his drivers through a defensive driving course and a first aid course because passenger safety is paramount to us. Uber drivers in New Zealand are not police checked. They do not have a P endorsement on their drivers licence and their vehicles do not have to have a COF (certificate of fitness). Uber claims that they do all the necessary checks themselves. Our current Minister of Transport, Simon Bridges (who shouldn’t even be in charge of a bike stand) has written to Uber telling them not to be naughty but nothing else has been done. If I didn’t have a P endorsement or a COF on my vehicle I would be taken off the road and heavily fined. So, when you book Uber (they are only operating in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch I think), you have no idea what sort of driver you are getting or how safe the vehicle is. And people are often finding higher charges on their credit card statements than they thought they were paying. This is blamed on peak time charges apparently! So, as I said earlier, I am not really sure why Uber thinks that a fully qualified, licensed cab driver in a town where they do not operate wants to receive an ad from them.

Ninjas rescue tots Trees not dead, just sleeping Ecotopia Alan Fielding

BizNinja winners Wairarapa College Year 10s (from left) Madeline Anderson, Maddie Castles, Thomas Innes and Nico Bresaz. PHOTO/SUPPLIED

Helping to locate little tots on the move, whether on water or land, was the basis of a winning product dreamed up by a Wairarapa College Year 10 BizNinja team. The four students were competing in The Young Enterprise Trust-run Wairarapa event which was a one-day challenge that culminated in their presentations being judged and a winning group picked. The group of Madeline Anderson, Thomas Innes, Maddie Castles and Nico Bresaz’s product idea, Find Me, is a wrist band that parents put on children when they are out and about. The band is synced to a mobile

phone and shows where the child is and if they are on land or in water. The group says their first idea was inflatable togs to stop drownings and then after more group discussion expanded the idea to stopping children getting lost and in danger. Nico said they had to look up statistics dealing with injury and loss as part of their pitch to the judges. “We also had to price the product to make it accessible to our chosen target market of young families,’ he said. “We based it around Fitbits and smart watches – around $120.” Using double Olympic

champion Mahe Drysdale in a television advertising campaign was one of their marketing ideas, says Maddie. “It would run during the 6 o’clock news when parents would be watching.” The BizNinja winning team was chosen based on innovation, target market, marketing and presentation and were presented with a trophy. Wairarapa College also placed second with Molly Cardno, Georgia Cullen and Avian Chand. Madeline says the whole day was very interesting and she particularly enjoyed taking a product further with how to market a product.

A man and his offsider cut down a tree the other day. It was about 5m high – been there a while. It had few leaves on it and therefore looked convincingly deadish. What the bloke seemed to miss was at this time of year many trees look dead, but they aren’t – they’re simply deciduous. However, he probably reassured himself of his decision because the tree was a native. And we know that all native trees are evergreen. Are they? Well, no. There are quite a few species that are described as semi-deciduous, and frankly they can look rather tatty – perhaps on their way out – during the winter half of the year. This kowhai was one of them. It fooled the man to its own end! A pity. It pays to look carefully before taking the

irreversible step. Buds and bark tell you a lot. Or you could leave the job until later in the year, just to be sure. Even so, be aware that some species such as European Beech hold their old leaves a long time and are thus rather late sprouting the new ones. They can look very dead from a distance, for quite a long time, well into November. It is a shame to lose years of growth and a thing of beauty due to ignorance – or indeed due to prejudice. Some people are only too willing to moan and groan about fallen leaves and flowers, shade, root penetration, general untidiness – even wind noise through the branches! – all to justify their personal urges of dominance over nature. Sadly pathetic!

I have been dealing with the Wellington Regional Council and its predecessor for many years - hill country soil conservation, resource consents, flood plain management etc. • A lifelong interest in the Regional Council’s work. • Over 25 years farming 620ha hill country sheep and beef farm. • Elected member Wairarapa Catchment Board 1984 – 87. • 16 years running orchard and pack house, Ahikouka area. • 12 years creating Mela Juice. Some Wairarapa Issues are: • The Irrigation Scheme - I support the scheme provided it is financially viable. • The water quality of our lakes and rivers. • The side - lining, by the Wellington Regional Council, of the Waiohine Floodplain Advisory Committee. • The ongoing saga of the Waipoua floodplain management scheme. If elected I will work inside the tent to help sort out issues I have two primary goals: 1. To present and communicate Wairarapa issues to Regional Councillors and Staff. 2. To ensure that Wellington Regional Council decisions which affect the Wairarapa are made in the Wairarapa, not Wellington. I will work hard to achieve these goals which will help change the Council’s culture which, many feel, is becoming out of touch in its dealings with Wairarapa residents.

Garden Talk en Barn with Gard

SPRING HAS SPRUNG PLANT FRUIT BARN! AT GARDEN

CITRUS SUCCESS Warmer spring temperatures are an ideal time to plant citrus trees. Whenever possible, choose a warm north location, or at least a sheltered spot away from cold south winds.

recommend either Tui Novatec slow release, or Burnetts Fruit & Citrus food. Slow release fertilisers are a bit more expensive but they “feed more by using less”.

When used as a landscape or container plant, citrus trees o˜ er year round attraction. The beautiful deep green glossy foliage and white ° ushed pink, starry and very fragrant ° owers are followed by masses of attractive and decorative fruit, making citrus trees as good as any other ° owering or specimen plant. All varieties of citrus can be grown in containers or used as specimens in the garden. The most popular are lemons and mandarins.

For pots and small garden spaces dwarf grafted citrus trees are ideal. Currently at GardenBarn we have dwarf tangelo’s, Yen Ben lemons, grapefruit, limes, navel oranges and both Ka˝ r and Tahitian limes.

When growing citrus in pots it is important to use a good quality potting mix. This guarantees vigorous healthy growth and heavy crops. The trick to ensure a bumper crop is to apply a little fertiliser, often. The best time to fertilise is from late spring to early autumn. Don’t fertilise after early autumn, as this encourages a late growth spurt, which will only get whacked with the ÿ rst big frost. Wellrotted animal manure will provide your citrus beneÿ cial nutrients, and the best manure of all is chook poo. But please ensure your chook poo is aged – not fresh. Keep your citrus well-watered throughout summer while the fruit is forming, otherwise your fruit will be dry with very little juice. When feeding container citrus, it is best to use a slow release fertiliser, as this virtually makes it impossible to overfeed, and allows for a steady supply of nutrients available to the plant over a set period of time. We

ORANGES There are two groups of

oranges - bitter and sweet. In NZ we almost always grow sweet oranges, usually the Navel types, blood orange and the Valencia which is famous for having the best juice. Although oranges are tough, the fruit will not develop full sweetness if days remain too cold, and in hard frosts the fruit will turn to mush. It’s easy to throw frost cloth over if a heavy frost is expected. We sell two types of frost cloth.

LEMONS

A lemon tree would be the most essential citrus tree to grow in your garden. Even a poorly grown lemon tree tucked away in a forgotten corner of the garden will reward you with useful fruit. The Lisbon and Meyer lemons are the most cold hardy of all the lemons. The Meyer would be the sweetest (if you can call a lemon sweet), and most popular of the lemons. The Lemonade lemon is less acidic and is really refreshing when eaten straight o˜ the bush or juiced.

LIMES

These have become a popular tree and do best in warmer mostly frost-free areas. The Tahitian lime (including the Bears variety) are the

Some varieties have limited numbers, so get in quick to avoid disappointment! hardiest of the Limes. Limes can be used either when they are green or when they turn yellow. The leaves of the Ka˝ r lime are used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Limes are best grown in containers and kept in a frost free part of the garden.

GRAPEFRUIT

NZ grapefruit can take quite a bit of cold. The pink ° eshed varieties are best grown only in frost free parts of the garden. Most grapefruit now are almost seedless, but if other citrus are close by they can cross pollinate and become seedy. Most grapefruit hold well on the tree, and get juicier and sweeter as they age.

TANGELOS

These are a cross between grapefruit and mandarins. They are the juiciest of all the citrus fruit and will grow well in colder parts of the garden. Tangelos should not be harvested until October at the earliest and should be picked before December as they start to dry out after this. from Southeast Asia, including Southern China. The best mandarins are grown in warm sunny spots in the garden. Clementine is well suited to cooler growing conditions with a low heat requirement. It remains juicy on the tree for weeks, but has a thin skin making it slightly harder to peel. The Satsuma type mandarins are the easiest to peel and are mostly seedless. In the range of Satsumas there is Silverhill, Miho, and Kawano. For a nice mandarin that fruits from October to March, try the juicy and easy to peel Encore.

WELCOME TO SPRING But with spring comes spring cleaning. For those house owners there are extra things to think about like home maintenance. Most New Zealanders’ homes are their biggest investments, so it’s important to protect them. Good maintenance will help keep your home safe and secure. It will keep you and your family healthy and save you money by allowing you to ÿx problems before they get bigger, protecting your ÿnancial investment. Practical, easy-to-follow information about home maintenance is available at www.consumerbuild.org.nz but

as we are talking about spring its time to think about cleaning out the gutters. Safety ÿrst though. Be extra careful on those ladders or get in a professional to help you. While cleaning, take a look at the general condition of the roof and note down any maintenance on ˝ashings, broken tiles or lifted nails and deal to them in the summer months to come. It’s a great time of year to clean up those decks and pathways and ensure they are free of moss or mould and safe for everyone to use.

BOOK NOW!

Given that my only plans for Sunday, July 31 involved lining up at a bookstore to purchase my copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, you can imagine my enhanced dismay when I was sent to waste away my weekend in Muggle hospital with suspected appendicitis. Nothing came of it, and I’m perfectly fine now. But as I was zipped through the hospital in a (flightless) wheelchair, silently berating life for not only failing to provide me with my long-overdue Hogwarts letter, but now obstructing me from getting my hands on Rowling’s latest book, I began to reflect on all the rooms full of expensive machines and equipment we passed. My attendant drove me through radiology and past a room where they do MRIs, and in my mundane, magicless existence, I considered the technology and innovation involved in each machine’s development, and what it could all do. Accurate images of our skeletal structures and organs without opening the skin? If we took a ride in the Tardis to tell the Victorians about the technology we possess today, they would have called it science fiction. If we went back another

five hundred years, they would have called it magic. By the time a magician was waving an ultrasound wand over my tummy and interpreting grey stripes on a screen trying to find my appendix, I was well on the way to convinced: really, we are living in the age of magic. The line between science fiction and reality has never been blurrier, and what is science but the magic of the past before we had explanations? The magic of modern medicine extends beyond our public health system, with scientists and engineers busying away with ideas either influenced by, or predicted by, science fiction authors. In 1980, Darth Vader ensured he would never receive a Father’s Day card again when he amputated his son Luke’s arm in The Empire Strikes Back, and soon in that galaxy far, far away, young master Skywalker had a lifelike bionic replacement. Fast forward to 2013 and a project by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Case Western University began reporting on their work to allow amputees to control prosthetic limbs with their minds and to experience touch. The Replicators of Star Trek are seen all around us now as 3D printers, which have been producing organ tissue since 2014. After my ordeal I got back in my horseless carriage, which might have been called magic before Benz’s time, and though I had to wait for my Cursed Child, I have new questions to wonder – what magic of now will be science tomorrow?

The winner will be announced at the Ageing With Attitude Expo next Tuesday 20th September.

Annette believes the competition sheds light on volunteering opportunities and inspires other people to share their skills within the community.

The award is an initiative by Age Concern Wairarapa°WOOPs, and calls for “the senior movers and shakers in our community” to be recognised. Last year it was awarded to Alison Underhill. Age Concern programme co-ordinator Annette Peters says they are looking for someone that went “above and beyond” for others. Anyone can nominate an “older person” who has made a signiÿ cant contribution to the Wairarapa community.

Ageing With Attitude will feature a Fashion Show at 11.30am by Heaven Sent Products. The Masterton-based business is transforming the lives of the disabled, designing a˜ ordable custom fashions and home aids that enable the elderly, sick and injured to be more independent and to live with dignity.

Owner and designer of Heaven Sent Products, Isabella Richards, says she knows too well the challenges that come with assisted living and home care, having cared for her late husband who died of cancer, nursed her own mother through many medical challenges, and nursed herself through numerous sports injuries. “Our mobility aids, accessories, and adaptive clothing make a huge di˜ erence in the quality of life for each person’s comfort and independence. It’s about living in comfort with dignity.” The clothing range includes easy-wear crossover dresses, nightgowns, dresses designed for people in wheelchairs, and velcro dress shirts with false buttons for people who have di° culty putting on button-up shirts. “If you look better, you feel better. And this is not just about the patient.

It’s about the caregiver too. “For me, I spent a long time as a personal caregiver, and it is important that the products are easy and quickdressing for the caregiver or whoever is assisting the person with a disability.” Ms Richards, who moved from South Africa to New Zealand in 2009, said she spent six years researching di˜ erent disabilities to design the most e° cient products and clothing for the business which is “going to full market now”. “It has been a long research process,” she says. “It’s not just an overnight thing. You’ve got to look at pressure points of a person, how they sit, stand, move. Our products cater for assisted dressing, while still allowing for independent living.”

Heaven Sent Products marketing and sales consultant Sandie Langridge says the next step for the business is to build relationships with rest homes and members of the community who will beneÿ t from their products. Her husband has multiple sclerosis. “The need for dignity doesn’t just stop when you have a disability, or a condition, or reach a certain age,” Sandie says. “Dignity is a part of who you are and I think society needs to get that. We are an ageing population and there’s a lot that comes with that. It’s not just about medical care, it’s about retaining the whole person. And just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you need to look like it.”

Registrations for CarFit wanted Accredited Visiting Service helps older people lead richer lives

EXPO

Accredited Visiting Service (AVS) of Age Concern aims to reduce loneliness and social isolation for older people living in the community. AVS coordinator Fran Reardon provides training and ongoing support to the volunteer visitors, and reviews each client/visitor relationship on a regular basis. Each AVS client is matched with a police checked and trained visitor who provides regular caring contact through one-to-one visits. The clients and visitor share conversation, interests and activities with clients, with the visitor supporting them in renewing

or expanding other community contacts.The regular visitors are also able to identify and act upon the early signs of illness or increasing frailty. Those clients who receive the service are healthier, happier, more independent and better to connect with their community. The volunteer visitors also beneÿ t from this valued interaction, and the community is strengthened through the increased participation of older people. Fran works Monday to Wednesday 8.30am-3.30pm. For more information contact her at (06) 929 7569.

cognitive abilities and skills. However, older drivers can also improve their safety by ensuring their cars are properly adjusted for them. A proper ÿ t in one’s car can greatly increase not only the driver’s safety but also the safety of others.

The CarFit programme also provides information and materials on community-speciÿ c resources that could enhance their safety as drivers, and/or increase their mobility in the community.

At a CarFit event, a team of trained technicians and/or health professionals work with each participant to ensure they “ÿ t” their vehicle properly for maximum comfort and safety.

Older drivers are often the safest drivers in that they are more likely to wear their seatbelts, and less likely to speed or drink and drive.

A CarFit check makes sure that you can adjust seats, restraints etc to give the best and safest ÿ t for you as a driver, to keep you driving safer and longer on our roads.

However, older drivers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash does occur due to the greater fragility of their ageing bodies. Driver safety programmes improve adult driver safety by addressing

Wairarapa Midweek

The theme of the International Day of Older Persons for 2016 is “Take A Stand Against Ageism”. Today there are around 600 million persons aged 60 years and over world-wide. This number will double by 2025 and will reach two billion by 2050, with the vast majority of older persons in the developing world. In order to recognize the important contributions that older people make, while raising awareness towards issues of ageing, the United Nations designated 1 October as the International Day of Older Persons.

Ageism is everywhere, yet is the most socially normalized of any prejudice, WHO says. It begins when the media portrays old people as “senile” and “doddering” on television. It occurs when the doctor applies a more “relaxed” attitude towards screening an older person for preventable illness, or uses care guidelines meant for younger people.

It manifests as the policymaker who, subconsciously or actively, prioritises against policies that would channel investments into infrastructure for ageing societies. These attitudes, pervasive yet invisible, lead to the marginalisation of older people within our communities and have negative impacts on their health and wellbeing.

More concerning is that older people who internalize ageist attitudes die sooner. Research reveals that older people who have negative attitudes towards

ageing live 7.5 years shorter than those with positive attitudes, and have poorer recovery from disability and disease (Levy BR, Slade MD, Kunkel SR, Kasl SV). Longevity increased by positive selfperceptions of ageing (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 2002 83(2):261-270).

AGEING WITH ATTITUDE

Perceptions of old age vary between generations The majority of people have high respect for seniors, according to the latest report from the O˜ ce for Seniors which is run through the Ministry of Social Development. New Zealand’s ÿ rst all-ages research into our attitudes towards ageing reveals high levels of respect for seniors across the ages and provides insights into our evolving outlook towards life as we age. In total, 1609 people aged from 18 up were surveyed.

EXPO

Across the generations we have very high levels of respect for older people:  80 percent of Millennials (aged 18-34),  80 percent of Generation Xers (aged 35-49)  89 percent of Baby Boomers (aged 50-74) But one in ten of those aged 75-plus reported feeling lonely or being socially isolated. And a higher number say they have, at times, felt invisible. Seniors were also viewed as

With the 75-plus generation, 18 percent reported they felt invisible, at times. Our concept of age varies greatly across generations and is largely in˛ uenced by our own age.

physical illness or disability (58 percent) and mental health or dementia (56 percent).

On average, respondents indicated that they would stop describing someone as “young” at 37 and start describing someone as “middle aged” at 46, as “old” at 67 and as “very old” at 84.

an asset to society. More than half those surveyed, 54 percent, considered seniors brought beneÿ ts and were of value to society. A small group (eight percent) saw older people as more of a burden. The Baby Boomers had the highest regard for seniors being assets to society, at 64 percent. This was followed by the 75-plus on 59 percent. More than half of Generation X, 52 percent, viewed older people as an asset. Millennials were more likely to be neutral at 44 percent, with only a very few seeing as a burden on society, at two percent. People also have more positive than negative stereotypes of seniors. Along with being retired or having grey hair, older people were described as experienced, wise, kind, knowledgeable, hardworking, energetic, relaxed and cheerful. While Baby Boomers were positive about the value of their contribution, they were the generation most likely to agree they sometimes feel invisible because of their age. Nearly one in four Baby Boomers (23 percent) disclosed they sometimes felt invisible because of their age.

There is a 20 year gap between how the generations view at what age you stop being young. Millennials stop describing someone as young at 29, while the 75-plus generation stop describing someone as young at the age of 49. Concerns about ageing appear to decrease with age. Millennials (aged 18-34) are more concerned about all aspects of ageing than their 75-plus generation counterparts. This shift appears to happen around middle age, with people starting to become less concerned about things such as dying and loneliness around the age of 45. The age people plan to retire moves upwards as they age. The majority of respondents aged over 60 are living in their own home and 80 percent of them plan to stay there as they age. Across the generations we are most looking forward to ageing bringing freedom or time to do as little as we want (64 percent). More than a third of us (36 percent) feel our life will be better than it is now, in ÿ ve years’ time. Across the generations, our main concerns about ageing relate to

While concerns about money and loneliness or isolation actually decrease with age, our concerns about making a contribution and feeling like a burden; and becoming mentally ill or getting dementia decrease but less so. This shows that age isn’t necessarily a number – physical well-being and personal circumstances play a major part in our attitudes to age and ageing. New Zealanders do not believe the country is ready for an ageing population. There is very low awareness of the nature of our ageing population: More than a third of respondents didn’t feel capable of choosing from a pre-speciÿ ed list the range within which the number of New Zealanders aged 65-plus currently stands in the New Zealand population. This needs to change if we are to face the challenges and embrace the opportunities of our ageing population. Having been told the projected increase in our 65-plus population in 20 years’ time, 62 percent of us were not conÿ dent New Zealand would be prepared to cater for the size of its ageing population. This has implications at all levels within our communities. The SuperSeniors Website (superseniors.msd.govt.nz/aboutsuperseniors/index) is run by the O˜ ce for Seniors. It acts as a gateway to information and services for seniors.

Alfredton digs in for future BY GERALD FORD

When the pupils of Alfredton School wanted a native forest of their own, the staff, board, parents, regional council and even a bank lined up to help them plant one. The school hosted a planting day on August 31 involving children, parents and staff from BNZ Masterton and Pahiatua having their annual “Closed for Good” day. More than 20 parents, six BNZ workers, teachers and 23 students from the senior class planted more than 230 trees – which were donated by Horizons

Regional Council. Principal Anita Phillips said the idea came from one girl who promised it as part of her successful campaign for election to the student council. “That was why she got so many votes. They wanted a native plantation. Of course it had to go through the principal and the board – who were (saying) great, that’s fantastic,” Mrs Phillips said. The board reclaimed an area of grazing paddock that included some swamp, high and sloping ground and a range of planting zones. The children researched

different native plants and the appropriate soil types, mapped the area and calculated the numbers of different types of plants needed for the required planting density. “With all of the literacy and maths involved in it, there are a lot of real-life opportunities for learning,” Mrs Phillips said. The first planting day involved the hardier of these species, Mrs Phillips said – including “wineberry, lemonwood trees, pittosporums, rata, rimu, flaxes, cabbage trees”. It is hoped that the area with its old logs and concrete features

will help attract more birds, lizards, geckos and frogs for the students to study. There may also be opportunities to learn the rongoa, or traditional Maori medicinal uses, of the plants, Mrs Phillips said. The project also had input from ASCA, the parent-teacher fundraising team, who supported it financially and made the application for help from the BNZ Closed For Good programme. ASCA member Sophie Kittow said the planting “was a beautiful day with a great atmosphere of people working together to

RAM SALES 2016

WAIRARE

Located in medium to steep hill country northeast of Masterton, Wairere has been breeding rams for 49 years. Opera�ng in a challenging, winter wet and summer dry class one wind zone environment, Wairere produces sheep with strong cons�tu�on that are accustomed to mob stocking at high commercial stocking rates. Wairere is the most recognised brand in sheep gene�cs in New Zealand, producing mainly Romney rams but also offers composites, terminal sires, facial eczema tolerant and fine wooled “smart sheep”. The mo�o of “Proven, Predictable and Profitable” captures the essence of what Wairere Rams achieve for those who use them. Rams have been bred at Wairere since 1967 when John Daniell began performance recording ewes on what was regarded as second class hill country. John’s father Len, who had purchased Wairere off the original se�ler, John Rutherford, had himself been breeding rams at Akura on the outskirts of Masterton since 1929. Derek and Chris�ne Daniell are the current owners and third genera�on of the family to operate the property. Throughout the genera�ons, the Daniell family have displayed a passion for sheep breeding and have been pioneers and innovators in their farming and sheep breeding ac�vi�es. Derek was recently honoured at the Beef & Lamb sheep industry awards for his significant contribu�on to the New Zealand sheep industry. The Wairere ram breeding flocks total some 7000 SIL recorded Romney ewes, a further 4000 Romney ewes in “ mul�plier” flocks. The composite, terminal, facial eczema and smart wool flocks comprise a further 6000 ewes. The scale of the Wairere ram breeding flocks is an advantage that clients benefit from. It allows heavy culling of under-performing animals, both ewes and Rams. Less than 25% of all ram lambs born are sold as rams meaning that culling and selec�on pressures are intense. With all sheep at Wairere being mod stocked and rota�onally grazed throughout the year, apart from lambing �me, Wairere is a rigorous tes�ng ground, ensuring that Wairere sheep have great “shi�ing ability” and a reputa�on for being able to recover condi�on rapidly a�er tough seasons. Wairere winters an average of 750 kg of live weight per hectare.

KEY SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUDE:  The requirement for all ewe hoggets retained to be scanned in lamb, (this ensures early maturity and high fer�lity).  For adult sheep to perform without any drench and young sheep to thrive and grow under a minimal drenching regime.  All ewe hoggets have been mated in every year since 1966 and are lambed unshepherded. -Selec�on for easy care lambing and against bearings has been applied since the flock was established in 1966.  Since 2001 all ram lambs (up to 7000) are ultrasound scanned for eye muscle area each year. (correlated to meat yield) and this measurement is included into the SIL index.  Wairere culls heavily for other “non-produc�ve” traits that increase work. Dags, feet and poor structure are regarded as priori�es for culling.  As members of the Wairarapa Romney Improvement Group, considerable effort has gone into improving the saleable meat yield of the Romney flock. With large scale progeny tes�ng having been undertaken from 1994 un�l 2013. Wairere sells all Rams by private treaty and operates a “price bracket” system whereby clients choose the price they wish to pay and Wairere guarantee that all those purchasing at that price are treated equally, thus allowing the introduc�on of new clients without any disadvantage rela�ve to exis�ng and long term buyers. Two tooth Rams are sold in Nov and ram hoggets sold in February. Wairere Rams go to all corners of New Zealand and are now enjoying a growing market in both Australia and the UK. With hundreds of sa�sfied clients, Wairere has the scale passion and vision to ensure that they meet the needs of sheep producers now and into the future.

Toughen Up!

“These Wairere sheep are just amazing the way they bounce back after a tough season”.

Things to ask your RAM BREEDER and to consider when selecting your rams  Ask your breeder for genetic figures related to breeding goal traits in your genetic plan.  Ask to see genetic trend graphs for the flock describing genetic change the flock has been making.  Ask what percentage of rams are offered for sale from the number of ram lambs weaned?  Select a group of rams based on their overall index values, ensuring your breeding goal traits are included in that index.  Consider “balance” across the traits by making sure individual sub-index or BV figures are not too low or too high.

 You are buying a team of rams - it is better to have a mix of good rams than some high flyers with other lower ranked rams.  Don’t compare figures for sheep in different flocks unless they are in the same genetic evaluation analysis (SIL GE number)  Ensure rams have good, sound conformation Source: www.sil.co.nz

STOCKX OPENS UP NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARMERS It’s been a busy first year for StockX. Since launching their livestock trading exchange in September 2015, over 1300 farmers across New Zealand have registered to trade their livestock. More money is being made by those farmers who have taken control of their trading and transacted through the secure exchange. Creating a national marketplace is key to enhancing opportunities for farmers to maximise returns from their livestock sales, and for buyers to purchase quality livestock at margins they are happy with. One farm business taking advantage of this is well-known breeders Wairere Romney. Wairere Farm Manager Jacques Reinhardt says “StockX has opened up new opportunities for livestock trading in our business. We can market our stock direct to farmers right across New Zealand. We can set the price that is right for us and ensure our genetics go where we want them to.” Wairere traded lambs through the exchange earlier in the year and Jacques found the whole process “very simple and secure and we ended up with more money in our back

pocket. Listing was easy, I did it all on my phone in the yards. This is very exciting for our industry.” With no intermediaries, farmers’ costs are reduced through direct transactions and maximum value is retained through lower commissions, fees and transportation costs. It is free to register and list livestock for sale or livestock wanted to buy, with the only cost being a 2.5% commission on sold stock. The exchange is currently built for sheep, beef, dairy and deer. Further enhancements are underway, including platforms for prime stock designed in partnership with industry, stud stock, transport integrations and a real-time market data feed. StockX is built by farmers for farmers. Farmers and industry groups right across the country endorse the value the exchange delivers by putting choice and control back in the hands of farmers. The added bonus is more money in their back pockets.

WAIRARAPA TEXEL DEVELOPMENTS UPDATE

A�er yet another year of clima�c mayhem and abysmal sheep returns - but another full clearance of 2015 sale rams Wairarapa Texel Developments have again made another move towards the growth and advancement of the Texel breed and stud size, having entered into a stud partnership with Andrew and Gemma Phillips at Wainuioru. The stud is now based at “Motumatai” and “Motuoru” on the Ngaumu Road. Stud ewe lambing numbers have more than doubled from 2015 to 250 for 2016, Wairarapa Texel Developments having been fortunate to purchase 123 fully SIL recorded ewes from Hugh Winders’ Fairlea Stud Flock 227, another 12 fully SIL

recorded ewes and 13 fully SIL recorded ram lambs from Shirley Hayes’ Pineacre Stud Flock 59, and the introduc�on of four new stud sires, all carrying the MYOMAX*tm Gold Gene (two copies). Coupled with a very pleasing preg scan outcome from the 2016 ma�ng, both Andrew and myself are excited to see their progeny as they progress toward our shared goal and focus of presen�ng another group of sound func�onal quality 2TH rams to WTD’s exis�ng and prospec�ve clients for 2016 and the future. As previously, Derek Clarkson has again agreed to collate and input all raw performance data into SIL.

Te Taumata Romney and Border Leicester GLENITI ROMNEY RAMS - Bill and David Hume

Gleni� Romneys are robust, easy-care sheep that have high fer�lity and high growth rate with good style medium wool. In 1969 Bill took over the unregistered sec�on of the Turanganui Flock at Gleni� and, with Holmes Warren’s help and encouragement, fully recorded the ﬂock from that �me. Recording was ini�ally with Na�onal Flock Recording, then with Sheeplan and now with Sheep Improvement Ltd.

The McWilliam family has been breeding and selling Romney and Border Leicester rams for performance and proﬁtability in Gladstone since 1958. Te Taumata’s objec�ve is to breed sheep that best combine all of the traits necessary for op�mum sheep produc�on: ewe cons�tu�on, longevity, fer�lity and mothering ability; lamb surivival; high percentage of lambs POM; and quality wool. Te Taumata ewes are run at very high district stocking rates under strictly commercial dryland farming condi�ons and con�nuously culled for type, cons�tu�on, structure and sound feet and legs. Te Taumata Border Leicesters are an ideal maternal crossbreeding op�on. Romney/Border Leicester crossbred ewes make top mothers. They are highly produc�ve sheep that are sought a�er and command high prices at sale yards around the country.

TE TAUMATA BORDER LEICESTER 2TH RAMS Romney/Border Leicester crossbred lambs achieve high yielding, prime carcase weights quickly. Quality sires for proﬁtable sheep produc�on are available for sale in November. For more informa�on contact Alistair phone (06) 372 7861 or 027 455 0099, visit our website www.tetaumata.co.nz and follow us on Facebook at Te Taumata Gene�cs.

A�er 46 years of recording there is high accuracy in the Breeding Values that have been generated by SIL. These Breeding Values are the basis of the Index that we have used for our selec�on that has iden�ﬁed the sheep with a balance of produc�ve traits that gives the best return to those using our rams. In recent years this balance of fer�lity, survival, growth rate and wool weight has brought the Gleni� Flock close to op�mum levels.

Rosewhare Texel

Rosewhare Texel Stud on Matahiwi Road, north west of Masterton, has Texel rams for sale.

Our high stocking rate puts enough pressure on our sheep to iden�fy those that don’t thrive.

The stud is owned by Daniel Klingender whose father John Klingender was involved with the original breeding programme when Texel sheep were ﬁrst brought into New Zealand in the late 1980s.

Mothering ability is very important. Any ewe that doesn’t stand with her lambs as we tag them is culled. This has resulted in quieter temperament, another aid to easy ﬁnishing and tenderness.

Daniel moved the stud down from Maraekakaho in central Hawkes Bay in 2004. He is currently North Island chairman of the Texel Associa�on of New Zealand.

Gleni� is a member of Wairarapa Romney Improvement Group. For more informa�on Phone Bill Hume (06) 307 7847 or David Hume (06) 307 7895 Gleni�, RD 2, Featherston .

SUNNY WEATHER GETS ARBOR HOUSE RESIDENTS OUT OF DOORS The veranda is becoming popular again with the warmer weather and it’s a great time to get residents out for a walk on foot or in a wheelchair. We had a trip to the Rimutaka summit to check out the soldier’s memorial, and enjoyed afternoon tea up there with the sunshine and view. A large group of us had a great day out at the Wairarapa College musical combined with a fish & chips lunch. One of our favourite outings which we will do again this month is a ride to Middlerun to pick daffodils. Our next project is the building of a new fence along the front of Arbor House. This is supported by the Greytown Business Community and The Lions.

A REAL COMMUNITY HOME

OUT & ABOUT IN

GREYTOWN

GUESTS INVITED TO EXPERIENCE WHAT CLUB HAS TO OFFER

At the beginning of September, staff and residents at Ultimate Care Greytown enjoyed a special afternoon tea with a visit by children from local Kahutara Primary School. The students performed a kapa haka, with one of our residents responding, much to the delight of everyone in attendance.

South Wairarapa Working Men’s Club invites anyone thinking of joining the 137 year-old club to pop in and see just what it has to offer.

During proceedings, it transpired that seven of our residents had some affiliation with the school, with five having attended it and one was both a pupil and teacher. Moreover, another resident has a daughter who once taught at the school.

The biggest night of the week is the Wednesday Draw night. There is usually live music once a month on a Friday Night with a variety of styles from country to swing era.

Facility Manager Wilhelmina Mentz commented, “It was a fantastic afternoon, residents, staff and the school children had a really fun time. We enjoy close links with the local community, and welcome visitors and volunteers alike.”

It has a full TAB facility, two full sized snooker tables and three pool tables, and 10 dart boards.

The club is popular for weddings, funerals and anniversaries. Its restaurant has an excellent reputation, offering full dinners on Saturday and Sunday and snack meals on Wednesday and Friday.

MINI EXCAVATOR IDEAL FOR HARD TO GET TO PLACES Pope & Gray now has its own mini excavator which is ideal for drain laying, landscaping and other projects around your home or business. It is especially suitable for hard to reach places as it has a very small width and tracks that are adjustable to get into even tighter corners, for instance between buildings and boundary fences. The excavator (pictured) is quite light at 1.7 tonnes and so is easy on the ground underneath and easy to transport to jobs anywhere in the Wairarapa.

PINEHAVEN KEEPS GREYTOWN’S FRUIT GROWING TRADITION ALIVE When you buy apples – and many other fruits – at Pinehaven’s shop just north of Greytown you can be certain they were home-grown. Pinehaven Orchards marked its 104th anniversary this year and is still owned and operated by the Meyrick family. It grows and sells many Kiwi classic varieties including Gala which was first discovered in one of its orchards, along with 11 other varieties of apples. Pinehaven Orchards grows six varieties of pears, stone fruit including nectarines, plums and peaches, berries, and some vegetables. There’s always a wide selection of other fresh fruit and vegetables in store, as well as some gourmet foods, and basic groceries like eggs and soft drinks. You can enjoy its real fruit ice cream – or some home grown fruit – in the picnic area beside the shop which is open 8.30am to 5.30pm every day.

Auto co-op turns two

Kandahar Home residents ready for Ageing with Attitude If you want to know what a rest home is like, why not ask someone who lives there? Residents and staff from Enliven’s Kandahar Home and Kandahar Court in Masterton will be at next Tuesday’s Ageing with Attitude expo at the Genesis Recreation Centre. Enliven regional manager Terry Moore says Kandahar’s residents are looking forward to sharing what they love about their homes with their local community.

BY GERALD FORD A national automotive workshop cooperative that began in Wairarapa two years ago has now counted its 160th member, its director revealed last week. Roger Castleton of Martinborough is the founding director of Blackfern, which in August celebrated the second anniversary of its beginnings. The Wairarapa founding members are “collectively highly experienced in all things motor trade” and the group itself runs on “co-operative principles” Mr Castleton said. The group started with a “series of quorum meetings involving 15 workshops in Masterton from August through to October in 2014”, he said. “These meetings were a round table affair as we worked on identifying the needs of independent workshops. The Blackfern name and principles were ratified and we launched an operational phase in March 2015.” Since then, the group has added workshops from around New Zealand and has reached 160 members. As the co-operative grows, its constitution allows for additional directors nationally or geographically voted in by members. Mr Castleton is one of three Wairarapa directors. He got his beginnings in the automotive industry after leaving school to join the New Zealand army, where he learned the automotive trade initially as a parts

Wairarapa Midweek

“Being involved with their local community is so important to them. We asked the residents if they wanted to come to the expo to chat to people about their home and many said they’d love to,” says Terry. “Kandahar is their home. They have a say in the daily running of their home so it’s only natural that they also want to help promote their home to others.” Founding Blackfern member Colin Fenwick, right, of Martinborough Service Station, welcomes Daniel Hawkins of Martinborough Transport, the group’s 100th member, this year.

supplier and served in various forms there for 17 years. He says the Blackfern venture has been “the ultimate team effort” with many working to build the cooperative without financial reward. “Empowering all members with voting rights and the ability to voice an honest opinion on the industry without prejudice is a great way to do business,” Mr Castleton said. “We’re transparent in our dealings, we’re New Zealand owned and our profits stay in New Zealand. Through our growing co-operative, we strengthen our buying power with national suppliers and share collective access to technology with inter trading through our online portal.”

He says the home’s model of care, the Eden Alternative, is what makes Kandahar Home and sister-site Kandahar Court so unique. “We use the Eden Alternative model of care which aims to alleviate loneliness, boredom and helplessness among elders – the three main problems older people encounter as they age,” Terry explains.

Kandahar Home Keith Neal displays some of the items that will be for sale at Masterton’s upcoming Ageing with “The Eden Alternative does this by Attitude expo. ensuring elders have

meaning and purpose in their lives, as well as companionship, a sense of community and being supported to keep their independence – the things that make life worth living.” In addition, Kandahar’s elders will be selling their art and craft at the expo to raise funds for their resident-run craft group. “Craft is so popular at Kandahar, the residents opened their own shop at Kandahar Home and will be bringing along some of their crafts to sell at the expo.” Cardboard creatures, paper flowers, greeting cards, jewellery, dolls and wall art are some of the items for sale, all of which have been handcrafted by residents. Kandahar Home and sister-site Kandahar Court are both operated by Enliven, part of the not-for-profit organisation Presbyterian Support Central, and provide a full spectrum of aged care including rest home, hospital and dementia care as well as respite and health recovery.

Azaleas love morning sun HOW TO GROW AMAZING AZALEAS An azalea in full flower is a sight to behold. Often you can’t see the leaves for the flowers, which come in almost every shade from white through to bright pink and also yellow, salmon and two toned flowers. Most azaleas are happiest in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade, in moist, organic rich well drained soil that is on the acidic side. Azaleas also grow very well in a pot. Here are a few simple steps to keeping your azaleas looking fantastic: ? Sprinkle Yates® Dynamic Lifter® Organic Plant Food around the root zone every 6 – 8 weeks, which adds valuable organic matter to the soil.

Azalea lace bug is a sap sucking insect pest that causes a silvery mottled appearance on azalea leaves. You might also notice dark spots underneath the leaves, which are lace bug droppings. A proactive approach is required as once the leaves are damaged, it cannot be reversed. Start spraying both sides of foliage in early spring with Yates Rose Gun® Advanced to protect leaves from lace bug damage. Spray late in the day when there are no bees foraging on flowers. Azaleas prefer an acidic soil (with a pH of 5.5 – 6.0) so in areas with alkaline (basic) soil, apply some Yates Soil Acidifier Liquid Sulfur to reduce the soil pH. To help promote healthy foliage growth and lots of beautiful flowers, feed azaleas each week with potassium rich Yates Thrive® Roses & Flowers Liquid Plant Food. Dilute 2 capfuls in a 9 L watering can and apply over both the foliage and surrounding soil. The nutrients in Thrive are fast acting and can be

absorbed by both the leaves and roots. SPRING REFRESH FOR FRUIT As many fruit trees, bushes and vines emerge from their winter slumber, we can help them on their way to a producing a great crop. Here are four simple steps to get the most out of your fruiting plants: 1. Sprinkle some Yates® Dynamic Lifter® Organic Plant Food around the root zone and gently tickle the pellets into the soil with a garden fork. The rich organic matter in Yates Dynamic Lifter will provide food for hardworking earthworms and beneficial soil microorganisms and help improve the quality of the soil, including increasing moisture and nutrient retention. 2. Control grasses and weeds around the base of fruiting plants with an easy spot spray of Yates Zero® Weedkiller. Weeds steal water and nutrients from the garden as well as harbouring

pests and diseases, so they need to be controlled. Take care not to contact the stem, trunk or foliage of wanted plants. 3. Apply (or top up) mulch around fruiting trees and plants. Keep the mulch a few centimetres away from the trunk or stem to allow for good airflow, which helps minimise diseases. Mulch will keep the soil cooler and moister during warm weather. 4. Feed fruiting plants each week with a fast acting complete plant food like Yates Thrive® Citrus Liquid Plant Food, which is rich in nitrogen to encourage healthy leaf growth and boosted with extra potassium to promote lots of flowers and fruit. PASSIONFRUIT TIP: Early spring is the best time to get wayward passionfruit vines under control and promote fresh new growth that will yield fruit. Prune off around a third of the old growth and any unwanted vines and give the plant a good feed with Yates Thrive Citrus

Liquid Plant Food. SUMMER BULBS It might have only just turned spring but it’s time to think about summer! Summer flowering bulbs like gladioli, liliums, calla lilies, spider lily (hymenocallis) and hippeastrum can be planted in early spring, filling garden beds or containers with stunning colours. Some are also beautifully fragrant or make a perfect cut flower. Before Before planting summer flowering bulbs, enrich the garden bed (or potting mix) first with Yates® Dynamic Lifter® Organic Plant Food. Earthworms and beneficial soil microorganisms love it! Once the new foliage emerges, start feeding each week with Yates Thrive® Roses & Flowers Liquid Plant Food, which is a complete plant food that contains nutrients for healthy green foliage growth and well as being boosted with extra potassium to encourage lots of flowers.
